Linear Static Response of Model Plasmas and Yukhnovsky-Kelbg-Deutsch Effective Potential

Abstract

A theory of transport coefficients of fully ionized strongly coupled plasmas, based on the self-consistent field concept and having no adjustable parameters, is presented. The proposed approach is not connected directly with the kinetic equation. A comparison of the obtained results with the computer simulation data on the classical hydrogen-like plasmas macroscopic properties shows that using the Yukhnovsky-Kelbg-Deutsch effective pair potentials instead of the genuine Coulomb potentials can compensate, to a certain extent, inaccuracies related to the standard approximations of the quantum theory of Coulomb systems.
